The 26 Best Things to Do in Philadelphia

"You'll find the Schuylkill-hugging Fairmount Park in the heart of the city. But this isn’t your typical city park: At more than 2,000 acres, it's home to miles of trails, biking and hiking paths, a Japanese garden and house, the country’s oldest zoo, historical mansions, and the city’s iconic Boathouse Row. Those with young kids in tow should explore the interactive Please Touch Museum, as well as the Smith Memorial Playground & Playhouse, with its century-old wooden slide." - Regan Stephens, Devra Ferst
